Inspiration Yoga Workshops & Holidays with Davy & Janaki

Inspiration yoga offers yoga workshops and yoga holidays in the UK, France, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Europe and occasionally even further afield!

Davy & Janaki India 800

We select beautiful places and provide Inspiring yoga classes. We have run yoga holidays every year since 2003 including in Sinai, Crete, Turkey, France, Spain, India and Italy.

We have found that the most important things for a successful yoga holiday are:

• That it is a holiday. Yoga “retreats” are fine too, but we run holidays where people enjoy themselves and have fun

Accessible but challenging yoga classes that everybody can enjoy whatever their level of experience

• Lovely locations with special interesting and welcoming hosts to make everyone feel at home

• Wonderful food that is plentiful, nutritious and healthy (and wine too!)

A good beach or swimming pool for people to chill out, read a book or take a nap

We make sure all our yoga holidays tick all those boxes! And if we find somewhere that is really special we try to go back again and again as we have done with La Roane in France.

"This was an absolutely marvellous week at La Roane and will go down as one of the best ever yoga holidays I have been on (and I have been on quite a few!!) with the nicest bunch of people. The whole week was an absolute joy -  and that talent show, what a talented group you all are, absolutely amazing."


Jilly, Free Spirit Yoga Holidays 2017

"Just to say a huge thank you for the week away at La Roane. It was a wonderful experience. Although at times challenging! I loved both your teaching styles and found them to be very nurturing and encouraging in different ways. I felt at ease throughout the yoga, despite my physical limitations from injury. All the exercises were adapted to a level that could suit me on a very personal level.

I've come home feeling stronger, more mobile, relaxed and raring to go for my next challenge, whatever that may be. I thank you both for making it a truly magical experience."

Join us for a yoga holiday in Dalyan, Turkey  18 - 25 May, 2026

We are returning to the very popular Dalyan Spa for another special yoga week next summer (2026). Our last holiday there sold out quickly and the feedback was great on the location (and the yoga !). Prices are not yet finalised but are likely to be around 10% higher than those in 2025.

Dalyan Spa is five minutes walk from Dalyan Village and close to the river. The Spa facilities include a hammam (Turkish bath), sauna, treatment rooms, a small indoor pool and a large outdoor pool. All the rooms are en suite with air conditioning and flat screen TV. The huge Iztutu beach is a short bus or riverboat trip away. Breakfast and four evening meals are included in the price - for other evenings, there are local restaurants to visit.

Flights and transfers are extra - Dalaman airport is only 20 minutes transfer away.

Brighton Yoga Workshop on Saturday 15th March 2025 from 1.30 - 6pm

 

By popular demand, we are running another Brighton Yoga Workshop on Saturday 15th March 2025 from 1.30 - 6pm. The venue is Unit 4 yoga studio, 20-26 Roundhill Street, Brighton BN2 3RG.

As usual, the workshop will be split into two 2-hour sessions (1.30 - 3.30 and 4 - 6) with a half-hour biscuit and beverage break in the middle.

The content will be a familiar mixture of yoga styles - Hatha, Ashtanga, Yin - together with pranayama (breathing) and meditation. We are organising a dinner in our local vegan pub (literally round the corner from the studio) for those who can stay after the workshop.

"Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop yesterday. It was so lovely to see you both and other yogis both old faces and new. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get on but forgot all about feeling under par and left feeling so energised." - Emma.

These workshops usually sell out so book early to avoid disappointment.
The cost is £45 and you can book by clicking below:

There are two yoga spaces - a lovely outdoor yoga area overlooking the sea and an indoor space if the weather is less than hot and sunny (or too much so !). Mats and other equipment are all provided.
